    the fact that Chantay was on the show for 7 seasons and was rarely ever prominent is crazy.

      Her first year when she was recurring they made her somewhat interesting. She cared so much about being popular she even hid her true nationality as a Somalian , pretending to be Jamaican. And that was the best plot line she got, before she was even main cast.

    Rewatching Degrassi it’s something that really sucks to notice. I hated how they made Chantay, Marisol and Shay as a “two timer” when it came a to relationship. Cause Chantay talked Leía into breaking up with Danny, Marisol was the reason KC wasn’t going home to Jenna and Shay went into a relationship with Tiny after him and Lola broke up. I didn’t personally like that along with their little to no character development it makes they seem like they’re “cheap” or disposable the way the boys sometimes act like they are. They were always supportive characters and never fully developed characters.

    • @ShaneTheCreative
      @ShaneTheCreative  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

It’s sad a lot of shows were like that and stayed like that but I’m glad that Netflix is coming out with some shows with some representation of people of color with Grand Army and Never have I ever.

    Another great video! I agree with a lot of this. During my current rewatch of Degrassi, it is so eye-opening to see how they truly had no idea what to do with the characters of color in general and the Black female characters specifically. It is so frustrating to watch them give every white character interesting and thought provocating storylines that we don't typically see and then give the characters of color stereotypical stories with no depth or originality or nothing at all. There are so many characters that got a piece of a story that I hoped would get more but we got stereotypes e.i. Liberty, Sav, Ali, Drew, Griffin, Danny, Manny, Kendra, etc. As for shay, I would love to know the make-up of the writing room from Degrassi: the next class because it seemed that they were trying to right some of the wrongs of previous seasons when it came to diversity.

Hopefully that’s something they’ll fix with it’s return!

      There was a bigger girl in the original Degrassi Jr High/Degrassi High. She never got any story lines or much dialogue, but she was an interesting character just because she was so present, always in the background, super involved in school activities. I think her name was something like Cathy but I don't remember.

    There were definitely a lot of magical negro characters in Degrassi that were put there as nothing more than plot devices. Jimmy for example, was used as a tool to help Spinner to grow up and learn from his mistakes. The which story arc was focused only on Spinner’s growth and healing.

    I hate how women of color were treated on this show. The black women were extras who had a line or two, the number of asian women in the degrassi black hole is ridiculous, and we didn't really get any other women of color until Next Class (even then, you had one of the few women of color written as the "crazy" girl).

    • @blackflameprod1455
      @blackflameprod1455 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I understand your point but I do wanna add in that Esme was not just the “crazy girl.” Although never stated on the show, Esme is diagnosed borderline personality disorder with histrionic traits (it’s on the wiki) and I also have the same exact diagnosis and always felt like I had true representation on that show. It’s unfortunate next class wasn’t renewed for another season because they finally showed her having a fleshed out borderline splitting episode and weren’t able to touch on anything more afterwards. And I just don’t want people to think of Esme as “the crazy girl”. Seeing her and her behaviors instantly made me feel less alone. She’s not crazy she just needed help. But I do understand where you’re coming from but at the same time I also think it’s better they made a character with mental illness a POC. Because a common stereotype is that mental problems are a “white people thing” when anyone of any race, gender, or sexuality can struggle with mental illness.

      Marco and Hazel as well, they tried to put them together when we knew he was in the closet. Ummm...with Jimmy it was a bit of a strange one, so he was dating Ashley first then Paige tried to make Ashley jealous by kissing Jimmy during a play rehearsal at English class. Then Jimmy and Ashley broke up, then Jimmy tried dating Ellie who said he was cute but she couldn't go out with him because Ash is her best friend, then he went out with Ash again then they broke up again, then he went out with Hazel and nothing happened through their entire relationship until Hazel broke up with Jimmy because he said Ellie inspired his art, then Jimmy asks Ellie out and she says she likes someone else (obsessed over Craig...deserves whatever heartache she gets) then Ashley gets back together with Jimmy and then Jimmy and Ashley stay together for nearly a year (school time) and break up when Jimmy goes out with the newly introduced guest character (yeah they had to bring a guest character who also was paralyzed) Trina who he said he wanted to marry in his last ever appearance on the show in an episode in Season 8. Technically they did barely enough to kinda make it not seem that way for Jimmy even though it did but everyone else it happened to in classic textbook fashion which is horrible. I always wondered what it would be like if Jimmy and Emma ever were together...he's too good for her, she would have drove him crazy

      Yeah I hate that, especially when people claim that reflecting the actual diversity of a city will end up turning away the white audience. Well if that's true, go then. We had to sit on the sidelines for our entire lives without complaining. Look at all other shows supposedly based in major cities like Friends, set in New York City, majority white cast, very few appearances from black or other ethnic minority characters. Same goes for How I Met Your Mother, both shows produced in LA, another very ethnically diverse city. Both shows overlapped with when Degrassi: TNG came out. It's absolutely pathetic.

      ​​@@codesm96 I think after Season 10 they got better, but again, most of the characters of color had NO character development. Like they were just fill-in roles.
      The Black Canadian characters were either biracial or sidetracked (Liberty was not developed much for a main cast member) while the kids whose parents were immigrants were almost NEVER seen speaking another language, knowing much about their homeland, or even referencing it ever. The Bhandari kids (Sav and Alli) were the first ones whose ethnic background regularly affected their lives.....in Season 8. Before that, no one.
      Next Class got better about it, with the show bringing up racism in academic discipline, the Syrian refugee students coming in, and Lola actually speaking Spanish on-screen. As for the Black girls of the show, Next Class finally gave some story to Shay, even if it started off being about her two friends Frankie and Lola. So.....it took too damn long, but Next Class actually started to take notice.

For how much I loved Degrassi, this is a very valid reason to not like the show that much because although they say 'it goes there' they never really did when it came to ethnic minority characters. Next Class is better with characters of color however it's a shame a lot of plots and characters were nothing like The Next Generation onwards. If we could have a mix of how compelling the storylines were in TNG (for white characters) and also had the better, more full portrayal of characters of color not being sidekicks or plot devices similar to Next Class but even better (they screwed Shay up early on by sticking to the female black friend trope but got better after). then maybe Degrassi could have gone down in the history books for being a truly authentic show for it's audience

The fact that Degrassi is better and is still pretty racist in their writing is very disappointing. This is the world we still live in. It's not any better.

      @Kennedy-yy7qo Babe, the show clearly was lacking in actual diversity, including showcasing other POC too. I would’ve loved to have more Hispanic and Native American characters, but you getting mad at me for calling out their lack of care towards black(female) characters isn’t going to help with you getting those other POC characters. Maybe try calling that out, instead taking issue with me calling this out. Also, just having black characters to be the sidekicks of white characters and to stand in the background isn’t something I’m going to be happy and grateful for, we shouldn’t have to settle for the bare minimum when they could easily do more and do better

      Race and nationality is not the same thing. White Canadians exist, Black Canadians exist, along with Asian Canadians, etc etc. their race is still White
